Know Your Electrolux Dryer
What a Electrolux Dryer Technician Deals With
Running an electric Electrolux dryer on 208 volts instead of 240 volts increases drying time, and heat pump models dry somewhat slower by design. Source: Electrolux - Dryer - Not Drying and Extended Drying Time
Electric models have a thermal limiter that shuts the motor off on overheating and must be replaced by a technician once it trips. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
What Electrolux Says to Check First
- Dryer stops mid-cycle. Electrolux says an overloaded drum can overheat the motor, so let it cool about 30 minutes and dry a smaller load filling a third to half of the drum. Source: Electrolux - What should I do if my dryer stops operating?
- Dryer runs but does not heat. Electrolux says to check both house breakers or fuses, make sure Air Fluff or a no-heat setting isn't selected, confirm 240V supply, and on gas models confirm the gas valve is open or the LP tank isn't empty.
